Summer is just around the corner, which means you’re gearing up to take advantage of the warmer weather and get outside. Whether you’re into grilling, sitting by the firepit, or hosting outdoor parties, a patio is a great way to take your summer activities to the next level. But before you can use your patio, it’s important to prepare it properly! Greenstone Gardens offers patio builder and maintenance services in the Philadelphia suburbs and surrounding areas, and can help you get your outdoor living space ready for a summer of fun.
Preparing Your Patio for Summer Use
You might think prepping your patio for the summer means just hosing it off and pulling out the grill, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Properly treating your patio not only helps it look great, but it extends its longevity, increases the value of your property investment, and provides a safe space for your loved ones to enjoy themselves. Here are a few ways to properly prepare your patio for the warmer weather:
- For patios that are made out of cement, brick, or another similar material, it’s important to apply a topcoat prior to use. This topcoat can help prevent abrasion, weathering, and moisture degradation.
- It’s also helpful to remember that if the surface that you apply the topcoat to is porous, you should use a topcoat primer first to ensure the best results.
- Most importantly, safety should be a priority! Mix slip-resistant additives into your topcoat to prevent the surface from getting slippery when wet.
- If your patio has been damaged during winter, it’s important to use concrete renewal products instead of a topcoat. Clean your patio and then apply concrete renewal to rejuvenate the surface and add years of life to your living space.
